WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport has agreed to a multi-year extension with the Talk WilliamsportRadio network.
Talk WilliamsportRadio can be heard on Williamsport affiliates 1050 AM, 92.7 and 104.1 FM, and in Jersey Shore on 1600 AM.
At the end of 2013, longtime Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport General Manager Todd Bartley acquired WEJS-AM 1600 in Jersey Shore and then the company that owns Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport.
“My goals since coming to Williamsport in 2007 were to first build a local sports station that listeners could be proud of, sponsors would see a benefit from and then eventually for me to purchase the company.”
The commitment to local high school and college teams is unmatched in the Susquehanna Valley with all nine Lycoming County School districts calling Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport their broadcast home. The only professional team in Williamsport also calls Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport its flagship as the Williamsport Crosscutters are broadcast each summer.
At the college level, Lycoming College, Penn College, Mansfield University, Misericordia University and Wilkes University all have broadcast agreements with Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport.
Since 2012, Division I, Saint Francis University has also had its game broadcasts syndicated by Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport.
Each August, Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport provides in-game score updates from the Little League World Series. Each night of the series, Little League World Series Nightly is broadcast as a wrap-up show to all of the games of the day including highlights from each game courtesy of the Talk Williamsportbroadcasts.

The Jed Donahue Show is also syndicated to affiliates all over the state of Pennsylvania by Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport. The Jed Donahue Show airs Monday through Friday from 5 – 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. – Noon.
